Great post, David. I too got hooked during my first visit to Europe, around 1978, probably in Amsterdam or perhaps Paris? Never drank it before. But since then have never looked back. Loved this story of your experiment, and especially, of course, loved the benefits you listed at the end.
Another well written and throughly enjoyable post. 🫶
Fun! Love the list of notable coffee experiences and pics. Thanks!
I feel like coffee sometimes affects me too, and becomes a vicious cycle -> Coffee at 4pm -> No Sleep -> Tired next day -> Cofffee at 4pm.
I'm typically 3 cups a day, black, or a shot of half-n-half.
But the damn espresso machine at work gives me a decent mocha at the touch of a button.
Coffee robot! Ugh! There's even a free real barista downstairs.
